INXS SINGER TEAMS UP WITH IRON MAIDEN'S ADRIAN SMITH:
QMI Agency is reporting that J.D. Fortune is writing new material with Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith. The Canadian singer, who replaced the late Michael Hutchence after winning the Rock Star reality TV show in 2005, also says that one of their songs has been picked up by Jerry Bruckheimer for an undisclosed film project. As for Inxs, Fortune is back on the road with the Australian band after it was widely reported that he had been fired.
"We had just got off tour and we took a break," said Fortune. "And in that break, things got misconstrued. We were not able to communicate with each other -- we live 12,000 kilometres apart." Fortune reunited with the band to perform at the Vancouver Olympic Games earlier this year, followed by shows in Australia. He is reportedly working on new material with them now. "We got together after the show in Melbourne and just started jamming. And all the sparks went off -- it was like fireworks and bells and whistles. We all went, 'Awesome. Let's keep doing this.' The possibilities are endless. It's really exciting. I'm just honored to be fronting the band again."
